A well run trolleybus operation. Route 1 is not operated on Saturday mornings. Route 26 is not operated on Saturday afternoons and on Sundays. The main dispatch is located at Kv. “Zheleznik” Terminal in the west of the city, so trolleybuses serving route 2 switch to 26 to reach the dispatch for lunch breaks. The line via Ulitsa Industrialna to the Depot, formerly of route 28, is used for Depot journeys only. The unused line to the dormant factory Firma “Beroe” via ZhP Gara, formerly of route 3, is disconnected from the rest of the network, but otherwise intact. Škoda 14Tr 1003 is radically rebuilt beyond recognition. Some other Škoda trolleybuses are cosmetically altered. Low floor LAZ trolleybuses are operated all day long without mid-afternoon down time and are most likely to be observed on route 2. Conductors are used on most trolleybuses. 03.09.2013 a contract is signed for a delivery of 8 low floor Škoda 26Tr Solaris trolleybuses.
